i feel embarrased to be writing on here with all you people who seem to understand keats far better then i could but i need some help and i thought you are the best people to ask.

i have recently started studying keats and i am enjoying it but i find myself stuck on lamia. i don't understand a word of it. i have got the main plot but thats as far as it go's, any enlightenment would be grately appreshated.

I'm sorry to see that no one has been able to help you on this one - I would very much like some enlightenment myself. I daresay you don't need to feel embarrassed about having problems with Lamia, it is no doubt a difficult piece. (I have the ambition myself to eventually analyse Lamia, but this is a project for the future, I'm way too tied up at the moment)

Have you made any progress yourself that you could tell us about? I think many would be interested to hear.

i have only just stared on keats and to be honest at first i didn't like it at all, i thought it was depressing and hard to undersand but after i got through the odes i began to appreshate it and now i really like Keats work.

it has been hard beacuse i am doing this course at home so i don't have the help of a tutor and if there is something that i don't understand i have to post a letter to the school and wait 2-4 weeks for a replie, i have two toddelers at home and a husband who woks 6 days a week so unless its a question about the tweenies or cars no one can help, that is why i have really found this site helpful. the people seem really nice and have probably saved my grades.

thanks to everyones whos questions and answers i have read and thatnks to Despondence for being intrested even though you couldn't help with that question it is nice of you to ask about my progress i only whish i was futher into it.
